HOLLYWOOD (CBSLA.com) — A man who admitted that he destroyed Donald Trump’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame was arrested Thursday.

James Otis was taken into custody shortly before 8 a.m., according to LAPD Commanding Officer Cory Palka.

CBS2’s Kara Finnstrom reported Otis planned to hold a news conference with his lawyer at the site of Trump’s star before turning himself into authorities; however, he was arrested before being able to do so.

A video posted on Deadline Hollywood appears to show Otis smashing the star in the 6800 block of Hollywood Boulevard early Wednesday morning.
